  • Do you know how common mental abuse is? According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, 80 percent of the population has experienced some form of abusive relationship and behavior. However, despite how frequent it is, emotional abuse is still hard to spot. Unlike physical abuse, mental abuse doesn’t leave any visible scars; instead, it affects someone’s behavior, mindset, and mentality. This means some people deny they’ve been mentally abused, and others may not even recognize the toxic behavior. So, whether you’re reading this to be able to recognize emotional abuse in others or recognize it in yourself, these a few things people who’ve been mentally abused do are sure to help you be more empathetic and kinder. IMPORTANT: If you have been abused or you suspect someone else has been, we’ve left a list of resources to reach out to. Please do not hesitate to contact them for help for yourself or a loved one.

  • You might have already heard about gaslighting and what gaslighting is, but do you know what is self gaslighting? Gaslighting yourself is literally when you gaslight yourself. When you gaslight yourself, you tell yourself things to feel better or worse when in reality things are not what you think. When you gaslight yourself, it is very easy to lie to yourself. Overthinking on the other hand could be a form of self gaslighting when you repeat to yourself something over and over. However, in our case, we want to differentiate overthinking or rumination from self-gaslighting. Watch this video to see if it makes sense! So, are you gaslighting yourself?
